Wow i think i was speaking chinese! 305 lbs


So I set up the feature where I could blog from my phone via text messages. Well as you can tell by my previous post it didn't work and something was getting lost in translation... like the words.

It has been about a week since I have posted anything so a tiny update is in order. Monday was an extremely stressful day and I reverted back to the bad habit of eating to medicate. Where it normally made me slip into a food coma and drift off to a land where unicorns fart rainbows. This time it had a slightly different effect, more like Wow potato chips :abdominal cramping and loose stools. I did however make a quick recovery and was back on track, and I haven't looked back. (except right now, but that was only to update... i swear)

I have started working out every day in any way that I can. One day I did sweat'n to the oldies (that was a GAY ole time). I have also started walking! so things are going really well. I start work Monday and cant wait to have a job so i can join a gym

OH OH OH AND I quit smoking yesterday! With that I have managed to not kill everyone and eat everything!

huh, maybe I am stronger than i though!

Thanks for reading!

Be well

Another day another doughnut... Just kidding 306 lbs


Let me start off by saying that my weight yesterday was not accurate because i had not weighed in a couple of days!

I woke up this morning feeling motivated and hungry! So after a healthy breakfast of a piece of whole grain toast and 2 tbsp. of peanut butter, I hopped on the Wii fit! Much to my sup rise I dropped another 1.8 lbs! So in a week I have lost 10 pounds! I am feeling great and ready to take on the world! Who is ready to dominate with me?

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my first 3 followers. Nikki, April, and Holly, you three are the bees knees! Its going to be nice to feel some support, because it seems as though i am doing it here alone. And as we all know two people make the journey seem shorter! So the more the merrier!

I am fitting into my jeans better and am longing for the day when I can put them through a complete drying cycle! (if you have ever been fat you know exactly what I am talking about). The pink shirt that I am wearing in the picture is one that I haven't worn in a really long time, well when I did I usually wore a sweater vest over it because the buttons would not button up. but here I am in all my glory! It feels great. Now to git rid of my muffin top. They are only the best when it comes to actual muffins... not people!

thanks for reading

The Journey begins... 312 lbs


So the journey begins... the weight loss journey! As my family and I sat down to watch the movie Julie and Julia (great movie by the way) I couldn't help but sympathize with Julie Powell. Turning 30 and stuck in a rut! I recently started the process to getting healthy and losing weight, so with that and the motivation from the movie. I decided to start blogging about it.

Once upon a time (the back story of who i am)

My name is Adam. I am a half Mexican half Irish guy who LOVES to eat. Like many Americans i grew up in a family that was less than perfect. We had out quirks but we have always loved each other, and loved to eat. All through elementary school, middle school, and high school i was the fat kid. and at one point in time had ballooned up to 363 lbs. and at another point in time had lost 125 lbs. Well as you can see by the title of today's post i have gained a good deal of it back. and it is time now to be honest with my self and the rest of the world... I AM FAT! Food is way too important to me. It is my best friend, my lover, and my everything! So now is the time to put food in its place! Fuel not friend!

So the point to starting this blog is to keep me accountable. I hope that people do read this, maybe if someone else is struggling we can inspire each other along the way. i plan on posting pictures of my progress and just anything i pick up along the way.

be well

P.S. I love taking retarded pictures. So come back to visit, if for no other reason than to chuckle at how dumb i am!
